Music Tracks to Practice With
It’s really helpful for students to practice the music at home. Below you’ll find two different folders. The first version “guide vocals” is a recording with singers, so your student can sing along with them. This is a great way to practice early on.
Willy Wonka, Jr - Guide Vocals
When you’re more familiar with the songs, students should practice singing with the “performance tracks,” which are just instrumental. These are the exact tracks we’ll be using in the show in December.

Costume Information
Oompa Loompas - Our lovely Ooompa Loompas are being worked on by one of our technical theater students, so the dressing lists will be fleshed out a bit later as they work on them. In the meantime, do not worry about supplying anything for these characters.
Want to bring something in for other roles? Please email or text me a photo of the costume pieces you want to bring in as soon as you can so I can approve them. Then please bring the items to our first rehearsals at the PAC in November with your child’s name written/tagged in them. You can bring pieces earlier but the end of November is the deadline.
Undergarments/Skin Layers - Just a reminder that during tech week and the shows, actors will be in shared dressing spaces and will need to perform quick changes around people. Please have your actors bring some sort of base layer comprised of both a top and bottoms (tights, leotard, biker shorts, tank top, etc) that they can wear underneath their costume. Make sure this base layer is in a neutral color and there aren’t any graphics on it. These layers not only protect your actor when backstage around others, but they also protect the costumes from getting too sweaty.

Show Week Schedule - Different than Normal Class Schedule
Tech week is our opportunity to integrate all the different aspects of the show: actors, scenery, props, costumes, make up, lighting, etc. It requires additional time to make sure everyone is well prepared and confident to put on the best show possible. For this reason, all Tech Week Rehearsals are mandatory.

Call Times
We will stagger call times for students during tech week, so that means some students may be scheduled to arrive later than the above schedule. The exact staggered calls will be posted the week before Tech.
Volunteer Opportunities
Our shows only succeed with the help of parents, grandparents, and other community members! We may schedule one or more volunteer work parties to help us prepare for the show, but we always need help during tech week in a number of ways: backstage supervision, hair/make-up/costume support, bake sale support, strike, stage crew, etc. You can go ahead and sign up to help on our Master Volunteer Spreadsheet Here!
